List of mods?

[PoorOldSpike]

Hi, I'm trying to find a list of BA2 mods, is there one?
At the moment I'd like a mod that makes tracers brighter and easier to see, to help us see who's shooting at who.

You can tinker with DATA/UI/TEXTURES/BATTLE/TRACER.TGA to alter the colour and alpha of the tracers.

Thanks but it didn't work (sniffle), I changed the thin brown line in tracer.TGA to yellow, then red, then green, but each time in the game the tracer was always black!
What is that 'Alpha' you mentioned?

[pipfromslitherine]

You will need a graphics app which allows you to alter the alpha channel, or to save the file with it intact. It sounds like the alpha channel is being stripped. Alpha is a forth channel (after RGB) that defines the opacity of the texture. Google is your friend if you want a more detailed explanation and potentially more alpha-friendly editors

Cheers

Thanks, i'll google that alpha stuff.
Returning to my earlier question, is there a list of mods here in the BA2 forum that I can browse through and pick the ones I want to try?

[pipfromslitherine]

Not of the form you describe, no.

Thanks, well why are there 5 pages in this 'Modders Corner' section? What are they all talking about?
PS- another thing I'd like to do is make the big objective markers (Red Star and Iron Cross) much smaller (or togglable on/off) because at the moment they obscure some of the action.

People (who have not added their campaigns to the official in-game list) post about their mods in the Modders Corner section.

Modding the models for the markers isn't really practical unfortunately.

Cheers
